 My concern for survival first comes from the fact that I am poor.
 The poor are the ones who will suffer (die) the most as a result
 of electrical failure in January in Canada.

 There almost nothing that I can do about the "system." 

 However, I can help people survive. 

 So, for these two reasons, I am most concerned about survival.

 Thanks....!!!!
